Inactive companies and payment indiscipline threaten the security of legal transactions and the safety of creditors in economic relationships. In order to ensure the legal certainty of market participants and, above all, the protection of creditors, in 1999, the Slovene legal system established an institute by which companies are struck off from the court register without liquidation. The institute, which in itself is not unusual and represents only one of the methods of winding up the companies, has caused far-reaching consequences, and years later in the legal profession there is no consensus on its sensitivity. The peculiarity of the Slovenian legislation was the establishment of the personal responsibility of the company members for the obligations of the erased companies, which opposes the fundamental principles and the statutory regulation of limited liability companies.
